RALEIGH, N.C.— Today, the North Carolina League of Conservation Voters (NCLCV) Conservation PAC announced its endorsements for candidates seeking election or reelection to the North Carolina Supreme Court, Council of State, and General Assembly this fall.
The endorsements include currently sitting Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs, who is running for a full term. The Council of State endorsements include Rachel Hunt for Lieutenant Governor, Jeff Jackson for Attorney General, Natasha Marcus for Commissioner of Insurance, Dr. Sarah Taber for Agriculture Commissioner, and Wesley Harris for Treasurer.
Among the legislative candidates are 22 Senate candidates and 44 House candidates. They include 14 incumbents and eight new candidates in the Senate and 29 incumbents and 13 new candidates in the House.
“These incumbent leaders earned our renewed support because they have proven they will stand up for the environment, our democracy, and the health and well-being of every North Carolinian. This includes protecting their right to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and have their vote count at a time when that has never been more important,” said Dan Crawford, director of governmental relations. “With regard to the new candidates, we value their commitment to stand up to polluters, defend our democracy, and advance a positive, pro-conservation, pro-clean energy agenda at every level of state government.”
In 2016 and 2020, NCLCV was instrumental in electing Roy Cooper governor. Last year, NCLCV Conservation PAC endorsed Attorney General Josh Stein in the race to succeed him. We are now working to elect a pro-conservation General Assembly that shares North Carolina’s values in protecting the air we breathe and water we drink.
